i.love.him.

Do I sometimes feel like Beanie is actually Griffin because there is no way G can be 3 years old?
A. yes

Was today the first first day of school for the rest of the years this little boy lives at my house?
A. yes

Was it a little hard for me to entrust him over to 2 ladies I barely know and drive away?
A. yes

Ahhhhh....but this is just the beginning of me letting go & and releasing him over to God, knowing he has an amazing plan for Griffin's life & is with him on each and every little step of his journey! The verse that is the theme for his preschool is:

Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

and I love that because that's really what Ry & I want to focus on as parents since majority of his life will be lived away from us! These precious years that we have together need to be impactful and a delicate balance of time with us creating a bond and a spring board so one day (that will come all too soon, i know:(!) he can jump out there on his own! So excited for him that his adventure started today!


Us getting in some family lovin before the day started, so glad that Ry could go in late to work so that he could come with us to drop Griffin off!

This kid loves his backpack!

Out in front before school...can you imagine that we were so early that no one else was there and we thought we came at the wrong time?? haha!

and in the car on the way home with fridge art...and we were late picking him up...he was one of the last kiddos there! I tried:)!
